Tori From: Tori Kanellopoulos Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2019 11:36 AM To: Mike Myers <mike@30scale.com> Cc: John Regan<iohnr@christophercompanies.com> Subject: RE: Special Exception - Conditions Ni Mike, Per our Zoning Ordinance evergreens are required for screening parking lots: Parking areas. Parking areas consisting of four (4) spaces or more shall be screened from adjacent residential and rural areas districts. Minimum sizes of plant materials. Evergreen trees shall be a minimum four (4) feet in height when planted. Shrubs shall be a minimum eighteen (18) inches in height when planted. All trees to be planted shall meet the specifications of the American Association of Nurserymen. 1 see that the COD allows for coniferous and deciduous along that boundary. I think that, given the additional height, it is important to have landscaping that is coniferous and will therefore still provide screening in the winter. I think you could also include deciduous trees, but there needs to be a solid row of coniferous to provide the screening. Let me know your thoughts on that!

To meet the COD screening requirement that states "A mixed coniferous and deciduous screening buffer shall be employed along the western property line common with the duplex residential units that front on Commonwealth Drive. " (p. 18), we intermingled some deciduous plantings among the coniferous. i just want to make sure that condition #3 verbiage leaves us the flexibility; it looks like it does, but please verify.

These are pretty standard conditions, mainly to ensure what is built is what has been proposed in the application (which, given you already have a site plan, seems to be the case). The vegetative screening buffer is nearly identical to your proposal, except I changed it to coniferous instead of coniferous and deciduous. This is more in line with our ordinance in 32.7.9.7 as well. 1. The special exception shall apply to Block D2 as depicted on the application plan of ZMA201300009 entitled "Amended Application Plan — Full Build, Exhibit A," prepared by W/W Associates, dated October 21, 2013. 2. All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be fully screened from the view of adjacent properties. 3. A vegetative screening buffer of coniferous plantings to the satisfaction of the Planning Director shall be provided along the property line adjacent to the parcels along Commonwealth Drive. 4. The development shall be in general accord with the application plan for this Special Exception Request entitled "Key Plan", prepared by 30 Scale LLC, dated May 1, 2019. Please let me know if you have any questions about these, or if you have any objections to them. i am planning to send them to legal for their required review by the end of the day Friday. 3 Best, Tori Tori Kanellopoulos, AICP Candidate Planner Community Development Department Phone: 434-296-5532 ext. 3270 Tori Kanellopoulos From: John Titus <john ttus@verizon.net> Sent: Friday, May 31, 2019 2:55 PM To: Julian Bivins; Diantha McKeel; Cynthia Neff Cc: Tori Kanellopoulos Subject: RE: 5tonefield Phase 2 Thank you. I'm just disappointed that no one other than Community Development has said anything to me about a change in corporate strategy for developing this project. As the sales literature describes, this was going to be a townhome development, not mixed use with a six story structure containing 160 apartments in the second phase. I just wish that the developer had been professional and communicated future intent to those who purchased in phase one. It is disappointing.

Your observations have been noted. A point of clarification might be helpful. The developer's presentation to the Places29 Hydraulic Community Advisory Committee was an update of their emerging plan. The CAC has no "official" role at this time. it maybe helpful to know that the developer could construct a 5-storymixed-use building with apartments and offices by -right In this section of Stonef}eld. The developer used this CAC meeting to inform the broader community of their Intention to seek a special exception from the Board of Supervisors for the additional story.

I have not, at this writing, been able to review the May 20,2019 CAC meeting minutes. I currently reside at 2407 Strong Blvd. (Lot 87) in the Towns at Stonefield Phase 1. 1 closed on this property in March 2018 and was the first to occupy the Strong Blvd. units. My townhome faces the "Park" and is approximately 25 yards away from the proposed 20,000 square feet of office space and 160 multifamily units which will be contained in a 6 story building that includes 75 parking spaces. I have spoken with Mr. Michael Myers, the project engineer, and have the following concerns: ➢ Until receiving the March 29,2019 notification from the Department of Community Development, there had never been any discussion with me regarding anything being built in Phase 2 except another 52 townhomes to mirror those in Phase 1. All thepromotional/sales literature indicated a total of 104 townhomes (Ri ). I feel that I have been a victim of a "bait and switch" sales technique. I may not have made the decision to purchase in this development had I known that the planned build out would change within the year. I also am informed that the remaining 28 townhomes to be built in Phase 1 will be rental units and not for sale. ➢ The height of the proposed mixed use structure is 6 stories. The Towns at Stonefield are 3 stories. Please consider reducing the height of this proposed building. This elevation will negatively impact the residents' viewshed. ➢ The increased traffic entrance and egress will at various times potentially overwhelm the present street/alley system. Strong Blvd is one way and the width of the street is 11.1 feet from curb to curb. The main entrance to the development (Kober Way) is also one way and each lane is 10.1ft.wide. Is there not a better traffic solution? I am hopeful that the CAC will review and consider my concerns and request of the developer modifications to the proposed amendment which will preserve as much as possible the integrity of the original development plan....and what I thought I was purchasing in March of 2018.

Option 1: - Keep the current SWM/ESC plan threshold of 10,000 sf. - Add a requirement for an Agreement in Lieu of a Plan for LDA between 2,500 and 10,000 sf. Option 2: Reduce the SWM/ESC plan threshold to 6,000 sf. Add a requirement for an Agreement in Lieu of a Plan for LDA between 2,500 and 6,000 sf. Both options regulate land disturbance down to 2,500 sf. I recommend Option 1 for the following reasons: - 10,000 sf is an area that is 100-ft x 100-ft. Silt fence is an approved bmp measure to treat up to 100-ft of drainage area per 100-ft of silt fence. I do not believe requiring an applicant to hire a PE to submit an ESC plan showing silt fence is necessary ($$, time). This can be shown on a Critical Resources Plan and our inspectors can confirm it is installed prior to the commencement of land disturbance. We do this now for single family home sites. I can require a plan after the fact if problems occur or if the land disturbance during construction exceeds what was originally permitted. i can require a plan if I determine a certain circumstance justifies it.

I'll revise based on her feedback/standard language. As far as landscaping, I think using the ordinance for spacing/depth is fine (15' on center or 10' if double -staggered), but I think requiring 6 feet height at time of planting (instead of 4 feet in the ordinance) would be good. I can revise the condition to reflect that, if you think that sounds good? Minimum depth and spacing requirementsfor a planting strip or existing vegetation. If only a Planting strip or existing vegetation is provided as screening, the planting strip or the cxisting vegetation shall not be less than twenty (20) feet in depth. If a planting strip is provided, the plant materials shall consist of a double staggered row of evergreen tress planted fifteen (i S) feet on center, or a double staggered row of evergreen shrubs planted ten (I 0) fact on center, or an alternative vegetative screening approved by the agent. Let me know if we need to catch up in person (I have meetings through distribution) or if these changes sound good.

Is there a minimum height and spacing that you would require? 15' on center, 6' min height at planting- like the ordinance language? Planting strip depth- 20'? For the rooftop screening of equipment, I would ask Margaret if there is standard language they use for the EC. I'm not sure this condition is specific enough on how they should screen it. Also, per County Attorney's office, we are going away from the term 'shall' and using 'must' instead.

I've sent them to the applicant as well: 1. The special exception shall apply to Block D2 as depicted on the application plan of ZMA201300009 entitled "Amended Application Plan — Full Build, Exhibit A," prepared by W/W Associates, dated October 21, 2013. 2. All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be fully screened from the view of adjacent properties. 3. A vegetative screening buffer of coniferous plantings to the satisfaction of the Planning Director shall be provided along the property line adjacent to the parcels along Commonwealth Drive. 4. The development shall be in general accord with the application plan for this Special Exception Request entitled "Key Plan", prepared by 30 Scale LLC, dated May 1, 2019. can send you my staff report/summary if you'd like as well. The 32.7.9.7 part of our ordinance does seem to require evergreens for screenings, but I wanted to have the screening condition to ensure there is sufficient coniferous screening to Planning's satisfaction. This is due to legal this Friday. Thanks!

I concur. From: Johnathan Newberry Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2019 12:02:54 PM To: Tori Kanellopoulos Cc: Roger Johnson Subject: RE: Hyatt House Hotel in Stonefield Special Exception Request Justification Hi Tori, Sorry for the delay in getting you this information. I'm copying Roger on these comments because we are still developing protocols around when and how Economic Development provides input on projects. That said, we're certainly interested in the project with office space within Stonefield, so thank you for reaching out! We can discuss more on Monday, but here's a first shot at some comments. Please look them over and let me know what you think. 1. Office/Multifamily Building off Inglewood: This project is located in a federally -designated census tract known as an Opportunity Zone (OZ). Goal 4, Objective 3 of Prolect ENABLE calls for the County to "lead the promotion of Opportunity Zones." OZs present a unique opportunity for the County to attract private capital investment, which is part of the mission of Economic Development. OZs also provide a new way for businesses to access capital because Opportunity Zone Funds can invest directly into businesses located within these tracts. In this case, the proposed height exception allows the creation of non-residential space that will accommodate business(es) seeking this type of access to capital. In addition, Economic Development staff is aware of several growing local companies within target industries that need this type of space. Therefore, staff supports permitting the maximum amount of non-residential space that is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. In doing so, the County will also be taking the lead to "help businesses take advantage of grant programs, state and federal financing opportunities" (Goal 3, Objective 3). 2. Hyatt House: This project is located in a federally -designated census tract known as an Opportunity Zone (OZ). Goal 4, Objective 3 of Pro'ect ENABLE calls for the County to "lead the promotion of Opportunity Zones." These areas present a unique opportunity for the County to attract private capital investment. In this case, the proposed height exception would allow for a mixed -use development to include a hotel and retail space. Staff supports the applicant's analysis as noted below (see responses in red) and adds that Goal 7, Objective 2 of Project ENABLE calls for County support of "existing and new tourism products." J.T.

This is one of the two special exceptions currently being processed for an additional (sixth) story in Stonefield. They are both mixed -use buildings, with the other of course being the office/multifamily building along Inglewood. I'm hoping Economic Development could provide comments on both projects, but for now just the Hyatt is good. I'll send more about the other proposal soon as well. I don't need a very long comment, just a few sentences to add to my analysis. By next Tuesday for the Hyatt would be very helpful. Thanks!

I have provided our responses to your questions below: 1. Economic Development: a. The positive economic development benefits of the proposed project are considerable: 1. The planned six story Hyatt House Hotel (which is the same approximate height in feet and the same number of floors as the adjacent Hyatt Place Hotel), will represent an investment in the County in excess of $20,000,000. The retail portion of the proposed development will likely represent an additional investment in excess of $3,000,000. These estimates are reasonable. 2. The investment and operating business located within the hotel portion of the building will generate significant real estate, hospitality and meals taxes for the County. The Hyatt Place Hotel which is owned and managed by the same ownership group developing this project pays Albemarle County close to $400,000 in real estate, hospitality and meals taxes and the Hyatt House Hotel is projected to pay between $425,000 and $450,000 in similar taxes. The retail portion of the building will also contribute significant additional tax revenue from real estate, sales, and meals taxes. The Dept. of Finance would need to verify/analyze these estimates. Rocio Lamb is likely the best person in Finance to contact. Let me know if you are interested in getting their assistance. 3. This proposed hotel project will employ between 45 and 50 full time employees and the retail portion of the project will likely employ between 30-40 employees. These estimates seem reasonable. Project ENABLE aims to support "quality job creation and career employment opportunities." It is likely the majority of these jobs are not "career employment opportunities" however the EDO does not discount any job creation. 4. Sewer and water connection fees to be paid to ACSA and RWSA for the proposed hotel have been estimated by the County to exceed $850,000. ACSA and RWSA are not County entities, so these estimates were not provided by the County. 2. Comprehensive Plan Goals a. The Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan goals are met by the proposed Hyatt House Hotel development as follows: 1. New investment, development and quality employment will be added in the existing Development Area of Stonefield 2. Development will take place on appropriately zoned land in an existing mixed -use development community 3. Development will utilize existing County infrastructure with regards to roads, utilities and other County services. 4. Hotel development will promote block development with connections to exisiting sidewalks and road infrastructure 5. Hotel development will be part of a larger mixed -use development that is in keeping with the Neighborhood Model and Area Master Plan. 6. Proposed hotel will be close to public transportation and will share parking facilities with other mixed -use activities and businesses in the Stonefield development 3. The hotel shuttle van will provide transporation for hotel guests to locations within a five mile radius of the hotel. Some of the places frequently visited by the existing 'sister' Hyatt Place Hotel's shuttle van include: a. UVA buildings and grounds b. Downtown Mall and surrounding businesses and restaurants c. JPJ Arena d. UVA JAG School e. UVA Law School f. UVA Darden School g. Federal Executive Institue 4. 1 have confirmed with Herb White of W&W that the amount of Open Space on the proposed site plan is 100% of the Open Space (Green and Civic Space — Ultimate Plan dated 3-21-21 and attached) approved per the Albemarle Place —Preliminary Site Plan Amendment for Blocks A, B, C, D & E dated 3-21-11. 5. All of the hardscape and landscaped areas surrounding the proposed hotel would be deemed public and/or green spaces that would be available for use by hotel guests, retail customers, Stonefield visitors and the general public. I have highlighted, in yellow, on the attached site plan these areas that provide unrestricted access from the sidewalks that circle the hotel and retail spaces. 6. Please see # 4 above. We have not counted the pool area, the outdoor meeting room patio or the enclosed outdoor dining area in the common space highlighted as public space or counted as either Green or Civic Space. 7. It is our understanding that O'Connor will provide additional seating, benches and tables similar to the existing FF&E they, as the Stonefield property managers, have provided for other likekind areas within the Stonefield development. It is my understanding that Ojas Desai and John O'Connor with O'Connor Capital Partners will be meeting with you next week to provide additional detail and answer questions regarding Stonefield's common areas and their related planned programming. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

John O'Connor reached out to us as well for a meeting, so it sounds like we will be having some discussions around open space. The most important requirement for your open space (that is, green and civic space) is that it meets or exceeds the amount shown on the application plan (as you stated). I do need some clarification about the proposed open space, as shown in my questions below. The open space is a requirement of the site plan, so we can continue to work with John O'Connor on the ownership/maintenance of the open space, which can be finalized at site plan stage. I have not yet written up conditions for this application, and am not sure if there will need to be any around open space, given that it is a site plan requirement. 1. Please provide a short narrative about the economic development benefits of this proposal, such as tax revenue generated and/or employment created. Reference economic development goals in the Comprehensive Plan. 2. Where do the shuttles go that serve the hotel? 3. Provide an approximate square footage estimate of open space provided vs. required (on the application plan). 4. Which sections of the open space are public vs. private? a. Please provide a list of everything that is counted toward open space, and whether it is considered public or private. b. For example, are the pool or meeting rooms counted? Are they public or private? They do not need to be, I am just trying to understand exactly what is counted toward open space. 5. Restaurant seating does not count toward open space. If there is an outdoor patio where people can sit without purchasing anything, that may be acceptable. This may not be needed as open space anyway if sufficient square footage is provided elsewhere. 6. Will there be seating provided in the plaza in front of the proposed retail? This would make the space more useable. There is some existing seating (benches and picnic tables) in this area already. Please let me know if you have any questions! This is still scheduled for the Board for June 51h, and I expect I can move it to consent agenda soon.

As requested, I have provided Applicant's justification per 18.8.5.5.3(c)(1-5) for our Special Exception Request for an additional story for the proposed Hyatt House Hotel in Stonefield. I have also attached the following documents in support of our application: I. Most recent rendering prepared by nbj of the front (south and west) elevation 2.

Stonefield Towncenter Hyatt House Block C2-1 Existing Conditions and Demolition Plan and Preliminary ARB Site Plan prepared by W&W Associates dated 21/20/18 and provided to the Albemarle County ARB. Applicant's ARB Application request and plans have been approved subject to certain conditions. Tori, I wanted to point out that, to the extent possible, we have addressed the Planning Department's request for information regarding the civic and open space on our site in the Stonefield development. We have referenced the landscaped, green, patio, courtyard and other people spaces for our particular development and our specific site plan. I hope you will agree that the pedestrian friendly people spaces that we are providing as part of our proposed development are considerably more robust than the previously approved retail site plan for this C2-1 block. We, however, cannot represent conditions and performance on parcels of land and for areas we do not and will not control. Those representations need to come from Stonefield's ownership and management group —O'Connor. We have been working closely with them through our contract process and the ongoing entitlement process —including the ARB review, this Special Exception request and our subsequent Major Site Plan Amendment which submittal is in process. It is our understanding that O'Connor has anticipated the civic and open space interests of the,Planning Department and they have made thoughtful provisions and plans to ensure that the environment desired by the County and community stakeholders is appropriately executed and delivered for the benefit and enjoyment of everyone. If we need to provide additional site plan and/or building detail for this Special Exception review, please let me know and we will forward that information. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best regards, Charles Charles Macfarlane Managing Member Macfarlane Partners, LLC 1812 East Grace Street Richmond, VA 23223 ***Please note our new address*** charles@macfarlaneva.com (804) 233-9700 office (804) 837-3900 cell a.) (1) The proposed Stonefield Hyatt House Hotel is consistent with the goals and obiectives of the Comprehensive Plan asfollows: a. The planned Hyatt House Hotel will add high quality hospitality rooms, amenities and functions to the existing mixed -use inventory of accommodations provided by the Hyatt Place Hotel within the Stonefield destination and mixed -use retail complex. b. The Hyatt House Hotel will provide a different design of studio and extended stay guestrooms with kitchen/kitchenette facilities to meet the demand for those travelers desiring longer stays within the Stonefield development. c. The Hyatt House Hotel will include a block of luxury accommodations on the sixth floor which will provide upscale travelers with a choice of a higher finish extended stay guestroom which product is not currently supplied in the submarket. d. The Hyatt House Hotel will offer meeting, dining and relaxing amenity spaces including meeting rooms, fitness facilities, an indoor pool, indoor/outdoor dining areas and exterior patio areas for use by hotel guests and the general public. e. The proposed plan includes approximately 12,400 square feet of high quality retail space which will link the hotel's functional spaces and street presence to the existing retail buildings located adjacent to and across Bond Street from the subject property. The building's design will pay particular attention to how pedestrians experience and approach. the building by accessing both the retail spaces and the hotel's main entrance and public spaces to provide a pedestrian friendly and walkable environment around the full perimeter of the property. The large clear glass entrances, full height windows and retail storefronts will provide welcoming views and opportunities for hotel guests to interact with passing visitors and shoppers making the environment an active and truly mixed -use experience. f. The close proximity and accessibility of the food service businesses to the hotel are considered major amenities and selling points for attracting guests to the proposed Hyatt House Hotel. The adjacent Hyatt Place Hotel has experienced a high percentage of shared use between hotel and the retail food services. A larger percentage of Hyatt Place hotel guests arrive and depart via taxi or Uber and choose to walk to restaurants within Stonefield for their meals. g. The Hyatt Place Hotel provides shuttle service for drop off and pick up (not airport arrivals and departures) further incentivizing hotel guests to leave their personal vehicles at home (or arrive without using rental cars) and stay local for retail and restaurant services. b.) (2) The proposed Stonefield Hyatt House Hotel does not increase the approved development density or intensity of development. a. The proposed site plan footprint of the hotel and retail building is actually slightly less than the previously approved plan which is titled: Albemarle Place —Preliminary Site Plan Amendment for Blocks A, B, C, D & E and dated 3-21-11 b. As the request for an additional floor (six in lieu of five) still falls within the height limitation as measured by number of feet, the additional floor request does not exceed the height limit as it pertains to mass and view. In addition, the number of floors requested matches the number of floors of the adjacent Hyatt Place Hotel and the scale of the two buildings will be more balanced as a result. c. The ability to add a sixth level of guestrooms provides additional floor area within the building which permits the project to accommodate the addition of first floor retail space (allowing true mixed -uses with the development) that would not be possible otherwise. c.) (3) The Proposed Stonefield Hatt Hotel does not affect the timing and phasing of development of any other development in the zoning district a. The proposed building and site plan are fully contained within the development block C2-1 b. Construction of the proposed hotel and retail space will not impact the function and use of the adjacent sites and buildings. c. Parking for the proposed hotel and retail space will be accommodated on the site, per the existing shared parking agreements and with a shared parking understanding between the Hyatt Place Hotel and Hyatt House Hotel ownership and management. d. Proposed development of blocks D1 and D2 is proceeding through entitlements with Stonefield ownership and any needed coordination between the parties is being handled by O'Connor, the Stonefield development ownership and manager. d.) (4) The Proposed Stonefield Hyatt Hotel does not require a special use Permit a. This request and application for Special Exception does not require a special use permit. e.) (5) The proposed Stone field Hyatt Hotel is in general accord with the Purpose and intent of the approved application a. This request and application for Special Exception is in general accord with the purpose and intent of ZMA2013-9 l 24 s c. The proposed Hyatt House Hotel and retail space site plan footprint provides: i. Greater vertical building setback and more building plane/elevation variation through wall jogs and transitions than the previously approved C2-1 plan above. ii. People spaces utilizing patios and courtyards (at the Bond and District corner, at the transition from the hotel entrance to the retail space and at the rear meeting space outdoor transition) provide a more integrated and active pedestrian environment than the previously approved C2-1 plan above. M. The mixed -use functions of the hospitality and retail uses within the planned building design provide more aesthetically attractive access and views to the side and rear elevations of the site. iv. The proposed green spaces and civic function spaces provided on the proposed Hyatt House C2-1 site (and by Stonefield management on the adjacent parcels) will be equal to or greater than those proposed by the previously approved C2-1 plan above.

Do you have a PPT you'll be using? If so, it would be great if you could send it to me a day or two before the meeting. Also, would you be able to write up a letter to send to adjacent residents? The letters just need to go to residents in the duplexes on Commonwealth that would overlook and be adjacent to your project. The letters should be sent out no later than the end of the day Friday this week (05/10). The letter should briefly describe the project and should state the time/date/place for the May 20th community meeting. Please email me a copy of the letter as well and tell me when it's been mailed out. As far as the resubmitted materials, I am reviewing those this week and should have answer for you on scheduling by the end of the week. I'll talk with David as well.

I am not sure If ►roger and JT need to be there or would like to attend — I will leave that up to them. Since this is a legislative (that is, not by -right) review, staff needs additional information to make a recommendation and is requesting the community meeting to ensure that neighbors are informed and have an opportunity for input. The most important piece we need for the review is seeing what the view looks like at 5 stories versus 6 stories for the Commonwealth Drive residents. This has been somewhat shown on the submittal, however more detail is needed. For example, does the 5 stories by -right already block the view? What will the building look like to residents? With the additional information, if we are able to recommend approval, this can move to consent agenda and likely move to June on the Board's agenda.

(1) is consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan; i.

Explain how this proposal is consistent with these designations. Some of the restrictions of the designation may not apply, like building footprint, because Stonefield has its own COD. ii. Also include how the proposal is consistent with the Neighborhood Model Principles, especially scale and pedestrian orientation. b. (2) does not increase the approved development density or intensity of development; L This was already shown on the site plan with Stonefield build out numbers - please include a brief explanation in the narrative for the Special Exception (how Stonefield is well below its maximums, etc.). c. (3) does not adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any other development in the zoning district; i. Justify how this proposal does not affect the timing of other development (such as potential new development in nearby Block D/Block Q. This can be very short. d.
